: : : : : Just put a new 5ft. Woods mower on my Super A, low gear seems a little under powered, second gear is way under powered and heats a little, mowing about 2 to 21/2 inches high, front of deck about 3/4 lower than back, turns easy by hand, any good ideals would sure help. Had a B Allis with same set up and it would play with it, I know it's more HOSS but figured the red paint would make up the difference? Thanks for any help, Wesley
: : : : something is wrong I have a a with a 6 ft woods that cuts grass 8 inchs high in first gear and 4inch high grass in second. and i have a cub that has a 5 ft mower that will cut 4 inch high grass. did the mower come off a cub a cub pto runs motor rpms about 1600 and backwards ? are you running off the pto 540 rpm or the belt pulley 1500 rpms ? Is the drive pulley the right dia. these mowers were sold to fit many tractors so if you put the pulleys from a diferent on your a the mower will go to fast or to slow.you can ck with your woods dealer for spindle rpms and get a hand held tach and ck the spindle rpms and adjust the drive pulley.a 5ft mower on a super a is small most everone has a 6 foot. the super a should burn up the gas with a 5 foot mower from a cub because a has double the hp off a cub please let me know what you found joe new york : : : Joe, the mower is new, the speed sounds good on the mower, We mowed with it last night and run in second, but just sounds like its on hard pull, not sure the governor is working right, as my neighbor and I tried to adjust for more RPM and it wouldn't let the R's come up any. This grass really didn't need cutting. Wesley : : Something is definitly wrong. My "A" has a 5ft. Woods and it mows normally in 3rd. I have to use 1st only if the grass is about 8-10 inches. If you bought the deck from a Woods dealer, give him a call. If not, find the nearest Woods dealer and verify all the pulleys are correct. Find an inductive tachometer (most chainsaw repair shops have one)and verify the rpms are 1550-1600 at full throttle. If everything checks out okay, then comes the bad new--start checking for engine problems--like poor compression. Keep us posted on your progress and we will continue to try to help. Good luck. : Doug, your saying what I want to hear, 3rd gear mowing, might be a little fast for me, but I want the A to handle it that way. Do you have the 113 cu in. engine? I just measured the pullets, 10 in. on (belt pulley drive) 31/2 in. on deck. I really feel like the mower is fine, RPM sounds about right? engine sounds the best, burns no oil. no smoke. Does run a little warm in second, could it be timming? But I think it's gonna be in the governor as we can't get it to change RPM's by ajustment. Thanks for the help. Wesley PS I been lookin this old 230 of mine over, just got her painted, would make a pretty good engine for my Super A (HA) Yes, my A has the C-113 engine. Yes, your timing could be off. You said it runs a little hot. What is the exact temperature, does it have a water pump and thermostat. Could be a bad gauge, bad thermostat, slipping water pump belt. Some Super A's had a stock water pump, but I'm not sure all of them did, but a water pump can be added. Your problem could also be carburator adjustment. If it is set lean, it won't have much power and the tempurature will run higher. If ran this way long enougn, it will burn the valves and can damage the pistons. If your carb has an adjustable main jet, turn it out (counter clockwise) 1/4 turn at a time and see if this helps. Be sure to get the engine at operating temp first. If the main is not adjustable, you can drill out the hole in the fixed jet. BE CAREFUL- don't drill too much at a time. Replacement jets are hard to find. I drilled mine too big, thats why I now have an adjustable type (available at the IH dealer, originally for kerosene carbs). Check the carb first, it's easier then the timing. Keep us posted. Good luck.
